WEDNESDAY 24

Legendary punk rocker, shirtless sex symbol and BFF to David Bowie, Iggy Pop chats with New York Times critic Ben Ratliff about his life, work and new record Préliminaires- inspired by New Orleans jazz and the novelist Michel Houellebecq’s book The Possibility of an Island. Iggy says, “One of the most moving songs of the record Préliminaires is called King Of The Dogs, where Fox tells you how cool it is to be a dog, how much it beats human life”. This revolutionnary interactive video (above) directed by Patrick Boivin lets you decide which dog you want to be between a business man, a bum and an explorer.
